...that he used a fetal cell to create her rather than an adult cell. What's the difference? About a year's worth of attention from the world press, since scientists have been able to "clone" animals from fetal cells for about two decades now. As Ian Wilmut of Scotland's Roslin Institute sheepishly admitted to a genetics forum at the University of Louisville, fetal cells might have been present in the circulatory sytem of Dolly's clone mother during the time he took his now-famous 277 genetic samples. "We and everybody else had completely overlooked it," he said...
...security team called her claims about meeting Dodi "garbage." The Sun also reveals that Holliday purportedly attempted to sell her daughter to an English couple for 4,000 pounds and "is said to have taken the money." The child, named Marni, has been safely adopted by a Philadelphia couple. Scotland Yard is reportedly investigating Holliday for attempted blackmail...
MARRIED. HELEN MIRREN, 51, a very modern Miss Marple, whose detective work on Prime Suspect won her an Emmy, and TAYLOR HACKFORD, 53, her longtime companion and director of Dolores Claiborne; near Inverness, Scotland...
...William Blake questioned both the lamb and the tiger about their origins, asking the tiger who it was who could have possibly crafted its "fearful symmetry." "Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee?" This year, out of a research institute in Scotland, a lamb named Dolly came roaring similarly existential questions. For Dolly was a clone, and her doubling had a fearful symmetry of a different kind: If sheep could be cloned, could humans be far behind...
...farmer but, after a summer of laboratory work, became enchanted by the magical progression of embryos from amorphous balls of cells into living entities of exquisite complexity. In the pursuit of the advancement of animal husbandry (and, by extension, human nutrition and health), he began experimenting with cloning at Scotland's Roslin Institute. His vision was the creation of genetically engineered farm animals that would manufacture therapeutic proteins in their milk. At the time, says Wilmut, he was only thinking of cloning embryos. "Dolly was a bonus," he says, adding, "sometimes when scientists work hard, they also get lucky...
